  1. Why is a new desktop opening for no reason?


    I'm playing a game and at most I'm holding shift+ w,a,s or d. It opens a new desktop. I literally can't do anything for about 30 seconds then I have to manually close the desktop, and by this point I die and lose. I've disabled it in the regedit, but this shouldn't happen at all. You need to fix this trash. I want to be able to completely disable multiple desktops, because if it opens by itself then **** is disabling a key even going to do?? I should expect more from Microsoft, but you people screw something up with every update.

  2. New Apps not showing anywhere

    Hi Simon,

    I would suggest you add create a shortcut to these programs in the Desktop till we fix this issue. You can right click on the frequently used programs and select 'Send to Desktop' to create a shortcut for that program in Desktop. To troubleshoot this issue,
    I would suggest you to try the following steps and check:

    • Open an Administrator CMD window. If you can’t find a way, use these steps:
    • Press CTRL+Shift+ESC to open Task Manager.
    • Click File > Run New Task
    • Make sure you have a check mark beside “Create this task with administrative privileges”
    • Type CMD
    • Type the following commands at the CMD prompt:

      dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

      sfc /scannnow
    Try these steps and let us know the results.

    Step 2 - Found the files in Network - USers- Desktop

  4. Why is a new desktop opening for no reason?

    Windows 10 Store opens for no reason by it's self.

    Hi,

    To resolve the issue with your Windows Store, we suggest that you reset it by following the steps listed:

    • Press Windows Key + R to open Run.
    • Type wsreset.exe, and click OK.

    It will show a command prompt window which is blank, but it is clearing the cache. Just wait for the Store to close and open automatically.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Regards.
